car wont start
97 civic hatch 95 gsr motor p73 stock harness with obd1 clips for injectors, alternator, etc etc.
1.heres a break down of whats going on...new battery-bought in oct2008
2.had alternator checked at vatozone and they said it was good.
3.car will run fine when jumped-but will not start after 3 or more hours w/o a jump
4.if i run the car and come home and take the negative terminal end off the battery-it starts right up once i hook it back up.
5.it will crank the first couple of times but now its sounds real sluggish and wont crank at all.
6.i've never heard the clicking noise at all..itll either crank or sound real sluggish and not crank at all.
any suggestions?

Re: car wont start
Sounds like something could be drawing power and draining your battery.
Do a light test from the negative cable to the connector with the car off.
If you get a light, something is drawing power, at this point check fuses by pulling them to see where it's coming from. Once the light is out - then you know where to start looking.
